Yep as the title says, how much power would i get out of street porting, how much would it cost and were in Austin?

 

You would get a substantial horsepower gain. I don't know how much off the top of my head. But, costs are a different story. The actual porting is around $300, but you have to tear your engine down completely to do it. So you are looking at the cost of a rebuild.

 

Presuming intake exhaust and fuel are taken care of, a 10-20% Hp gain is resonable to expect.


There is a rotary shop somwere in TX but I can't remember the name. someone on here will.

 

Not if your apex seals are in good shape and you can reuse them. That will save you several hundred dollars.

 

Try BDC in Grand Prarie TX, he's on the other forum.

 

I go there on occasion. www.rx7.com
Rotary Performance in Garland, TX. The people are wonderful, especaily Mary. However, the prices are steep...really steep with some things, but the work is %110 satisfaction and gauranteed. I believe a rebuild is around 2K+ and that is not even for a port job. I think that adds another 100. But if you ever have questions call or stop by, great people they are.

 

Does anybody know of a cheaper place in texas to get my car streetported??? at least lower than $3100.

 

Does anybody know of some good performance upgrades for pretty cheap?

 

Have you looked into doing it yourself? All you need is a rotary tool, templates and some time. You will save many dollars.

Nope.

 

...^nevar crossed my mind but does it come in a kit or sumthin? if so where do i get it?

 

www.mazdatrix.com has a write up and I believe they sell templates.

 

Typically 15% but up to 20% depending on quality of the porting.

Porting the housings and plates runs around 300-350$ if you supply the housings, or as an addition to a rebuild.


WELL WORTH THE 300$

yeah...if you are curious about porting...check out www.nopistons.com ...they have a VERY comprehensive and detailed section dedicated to porting and such.

also...click my sig and check out my cardomain site...one of the pages shows me porting my last engine...it was a 1/2 bridgeport...so there are 2 streetports and 2 bridgeports, i did it all with a dremel and did NOT use a template...

 

he's here, too.

 

Yea bro do it yourself! Save yourself big bucks and at the same time learn more about your engine! I did mine with large street ports and the thing is a monster compared to before with a Holley 650 cfm......it a beast on the road!
